Intellectual disability and abnormal cortical neuron phenotypes in patients with Bloom syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

Bloom syndrome (BS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by genomic instability that leads to various complications, including cancer. Given the low prevalence of BS in Japan, we conducted a nationwide survey. We recruited eight patients with BS, three of whom exhibited intellectual disability.
